“Loews Miami Beach Hotel welcomed Derek Gores as our Artist in Residence over Art Basel 2018, resulting in a multi-day event series that not only delighted our guests, but elevated the hotel’s Art Basel programming to new heights. From concept to creation, Derek worked hand-in-hand with us to build out bespoke programming, carefully curated to integrate his work throughout the guest experience. From activations in our public spaces to VIP chocolate creations featuring his art, to “Meet the Artist” moments and beyond. Our collaboration celebrated the true spirit of Derek’s work and was a resounding success. Long before this partnership, Derek was already an integral part of our resort with two larger-than-life collage works commisioned as part of our multi-million dollar redesign. He is visionary in his field, a delight to work with and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Derek and his team.” Amy Ras-Speijer, Loews Miami Beach Director of Marketing
